A Fractional Chief Growth Officer for Hamden Law Firms — One Owner for the Whole Revenue Engine
You spend on marketing, field the leads, and chase business development — but each one runs on its own metric and qualified leads slip through the handoffs. We work above the silos and aligns the entire engine behind one scoreboard.
Quick Answer
What does a fractional CGO do for a Hamden law firm?
A fractional Chief Growth Officer for a law firm is a senior revenue executive who takes ownership of the firm’s whole growth engine on a fractional schedule. Rather than owning one function like marketing or ops, the CGO orchestrates across the silos — connecting marketing, intake, sales, and retention into one accountable system instead of optimizing alone while good leads slip through the gaps.
- Senior revenue leadership for about 20–40% of a full-time hire’s price
- A fit for $1M–$100M+ firms whose marketing, intake, and sales report separately
- Most last 6–18 months before shifting to a lighter advisory rhythm

FAQ
Questions Hamden firms ask
